Fairline Yachts, the luxury British motor yacht manufacturer, was last night (14 September 2019) announced as a winner for the third year in a row at the World Yachts Trophies, this time for its newly launched Squadron 68, which debuted on 10 September at the world's largest in-water boat show, Cannes Yachting Festival.

Announced at the glamorous yachting event, known as the Oscars of the international luxury boating scene, the Squadron 68 beat impressive competition from yacht manufacturers across the globe, to secure the highly coveted title of Best Interior Design in the 64-80ft (18.5 - 24m) category.

The Squadron 68 features contemporary styling by award-winning designer, Alberto Mancini. Designed with the latest technologies, the highest quality materials and handcrafted in England, the effortlessly stylish 68ft yacht is set to be a firm favourite on the water.

The high-profile annual event took place on the Ritz Carlton Hotel's beach, during the Cannes Yachting Festival. The World Yachts Trophies are one of the world's most prestigious award ceremonies in the luxury motor yacht industry, with the honours attributed to only the finest boats and builders of the last 12 months.

This is the third consecutive year that Fairline Yachts has won at the World Yacht Trophies - previously the boat yard has won the Best Exterior Design Award in the 50-80ft yachts category for its Targa 63 GTO and the Best Exterior Design Award in the 14-18m category for its Targa 43 Open.
